Any suggestions for a good legume mix for next spring ? Starting to plan a better approach for next year.

Forage Soybeans-Cow Peas- Grain Sorghum is pretty standard. Are there better varieties of sorghum than WGF ? Any specific varieties of beans, peas or other seeds you've had success with ?

I plant the soy corn clay peas mix each year in my biggest field and it does great but the best mix I’ve found for solid summer growth is Alyceclover and jointvetch. I have heavy red clay soil and it grows like crazy and the deer love it. It’s 5-6 feet inside the exclusion cage and it looks like it’s been bush hogged to a foot outside. The more they eat it the more it grows. I spray it twice a year with Butyrac and clethodim to keep it clean. I’ve planted it every year for about 6 years now and it produces even during drought. It doesn’t produce as well in sandy soil but if you have heavy soil, spray it and fertilize with 0-20-20 I can just about gauruntee you will be amazed at the growth and usage. It does well in smaller plots of a 1/2 acre even with some shade and a high deer density and is high in protein. I plant it after turkey season when the soil warms up. I never hear of anyone else planting it and don’t know why. It’s been a wonder planting at my place in Lee Co.

What size are your plots? If they're not very big you can always just add Durana clover in with your fall mix and it will be there for the spring and summer. Saves on planting cost.

I have a couple of Durana plots that do stay all year. They look good but don’t compare to AC and JV mix in the summer.

What planting rates are you using for this mix?


I love my country, but don't trust my government.

I buy a bunch and mix it together then spread about 15# per acre after turkey season.
I plant a couple of acres in two different spots.
It starts slow but then it takes off if you take care of it. It’s my favorite summer time planting.
